30+ Easy Activities for 1 Year Olds

Looking for activities for 1 year olds? You’ve come to the right place.

But these are not baby activities. This is post for tabies. Do you have a taby in your life? A taby is “not a baby anymore, but definitely not a toddler”. My 16 month old? He’s a total taby. And I made this list of “Activities for 1 year olds” just for him and all his taby friends in the world.

Tabies are not easy to entertain. They’re mobile. They’re curious. They’re a little verbal but not so verbal I can reason with and have a conversation with you verbal. They’re also a frustrated little bunch who want to be wild and free like toddlers but just don’t have the abilities yet.

Taby friends – this one’s for you.

When I’m looking for a taby activity, I’m looking for a couple of things: is it easy to set up? Because he might only play for a minute and I better not have spent hours on this.

Is it taste safe? He’s probably going to lick/bite/or eat some of the activity so I need things that are taste safe.

Is it something he can be successful with? My taby is frustrated enough that he can’t keep up with his siblings. I need activities that he can feel and be successful at.

So I went looking for taby activities…

And I found 30+ amazing activities for 1 year olds. I looked all over Pinterest, went to my friends’ blogs, and put together an awesome list of links for you to check out.

I separated the activities into two smaller lists: fine motor activities and fun & easy activities.
